The LordNwahs-ian Republic of Olvern is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Nwahs with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 3.407 billion Olvernians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Olvernian economy, worth 624 trillion Tokens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 183,336 Tokens, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 527,159 per year while the poor average 50,673, a ratio of 10.4 to 1.
Major boxing matches are held in government buildings, sections of the police receive paramilitary training, a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, and baby monitors have been banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Olvern's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Olvern is ranked 181,927th in the world and 3,246th in The North Pacific for Most Stationary, with 74.5949522592 days.
